HP trail run Saturday AM!

Ok folks this saturday we're leaving north seattle at 8am and will meet up with Qman and whoever else down there at 4Corners. The plan is to try some trails near Black Diamond and then head east out to near Kangley and Kanaskat. The trail conditions are very loamy and moist with very few rocks. Breakage shouldn't be much of a problem due to minimal friction. This will probably be a half day deal but you could play all day or head on up to Greenwater or Evans Creek for more if you wish. Give me a call at 206 890 1522 for more info.

I had a great time. Wasn't anything real crazy but fun(except for Rob's exploits) all the same.

I finally got to present Rob(Turbone) with his Badge of Honor. Austin earned his set as well for the '80 wagon. (That may have had a heavy price though) I'm sure he'll elaborate later.

This trip was not without carnage though. MikeW ripped a strut top off. Turbone ripped the rear diff hanger loose and then off. Austin found his car is waterproof interior wise. But it soaked everything else. We managed to temporarily fix and repair all damage and everyone left under their own power.

Hey it was good to see you all again, it's been a while. I was most impressed with Austin's driving, very skillfull and controlled, power and finese at the right times. I didn't think he'd be able to get his unlifted and unlocked wagon to those places but he did with ease and no carnage. I was also impressed that Patty is so mechanically skilled. Good catch Austin.
Rob put on the best show with his wildman routine. Dang, that was cool. Hope there's some pics and video since I didn't have my camera rolling.
Zap, Qman, and Mudrat make scary manuevers look casual. These guys have so much experience wheelin' Subarus it boggles the mind. The special guest apparence by Mudrat was a cool surprise.

I wasn't too happy about dislocating my strut in the first five minutes of the run but I kinda asked for it. Thanks to Mudrat's ratchet strap technique it held together very nicely. Maybe brand new strut tops aren't such a bad idea.

Rob's been able to hang with us the whole time. He just always did it in a Mazda pickup. :lolYou'll notice EZ didn't go into the deep part of the mud holes, he doesn't have any protection for the disty or carb.

Yep I have video of that. As so often happens with pics, it doesn't look as precarious as it was in real life. But if my filming sucks it's because I couldn't decide weather to keep shooting or run over there in case you started tipping. You sure know the tipping point and behaviour of your car. That was some awesome driving.
